Quick Facts

• Other highlights: Raise your hand if you think Caribbean cooking is all about jerk seasoning and one-pot stews — don't be shy! Suzanne and Michelle Rosseau, the ladies behind "Two Sisters and a Meal," say that these are a part of Caribbean cuisine. They're just not all of Caribbean cuisine. Not by a long shot.

The recipes in this book are drawn from the sisters' favorite family dishes, traditional Caribbean dishes, and their own modern creations using Caribbean flavors and ingredients. The dishes are fresh, boldly flavored, and sassy — the kind of dishes that make you pay full attention when they're filling your plate.

The sisters also emphasize, through stories and photos and observations of island life, that the vast majority of these dishes are meant to be shared, family-style. In fact, the book is arranged not by seasons or meals of the day, but by gatherings great and small — from a true Caribbean fete to Sunday family supper.
